How Bonus Categories Work
A welcome bonus is typically the reward offered the first time a new player funds an account. It is designed as an introduction rather than a recurring perk, which is why it usually carries its own separate terms. A reload bonus, by contrast, applies to deposits made after that first one and tends to repeat on a schedule set by the operator.
Free spins form a third category and are generally awarded on a specific slot rather than as flexible site credit. They often arrive bundled with a deposit bonus or as a standalone reward tied to a promotional calendar. Cashback offers are a fourth type, returning a portion of losses over a set period rather than rewarding a deposit directly.
Why the Category Matters Before You Opt In
Every bonus category carries its own conditions, and those conditions decide how the reward can actually be used. A deposit-linked welcome offer behaves differently from a spins package tied to one game, and mixing them up leads to confusion at withdrawal time. Reading which category an offer falls into is the first step before checking anything else about it.
Wagering requirements differ across these categories as well, since a cash bonus and a spins win are often treated differently by the same operator. We keep a dedicated page on how our wagering requirements work, which is the right place to check before assuming how a bonus converts to withdrawable funds. Our current list of live offers, including any welcome or reload promotion, is kept on our promotions page.
